Frequently Asked Questions
It is a holistic method, which means it approaches chronic disease and health problems from the perspective of the whole person, taking into account various factors (such as diet, toxic chemical exposures, stress, sleep, etc) that may be influencing disease. Appointments can often take a lot longer than a standard GP appointment, in the interest of going through each patient’s history and presenting concerns thoroughly.
What does integrative medicine use from the conventional medical approach?
What does integrative medicine use from the complementary approach?
Remedies are often related to improving nutrient intake to the body (through diet changes and supplements), reducing toxic sources (such as poor diet choices, personal care products, the home, car and work environments), optimising the microbiome and optimising detoxification. Stress, sleep and exercise may also be addressed.
